色不異空，空不異色；色即是空，空即是色。

Form is not other than emptiness; emptiness is not other than form. Form itself is emptiness; emptiness itself is form.

The text stays. The distance changes.經文不動，是距離在變。

How Waken reads

Move from the original into plain language and into the heart of the matter. The scholarship stays underneath — never placed between you and the sūtra.

觀自在菩薩，行深般若波羅蜜多時，照見五蘊皆空，度一切苦厄。

The method
Translation譯注The canon rendered from the transmitted Chinese — parallel text, every choice sourced.Exposition義疏Plain-language expositions that open the text without standing in front of it.Doctrine法要The received enumeration of dharmas, woven across the canon — nothing new composed.Study學研The research wing — clearly labeled, always seated beneath the canon it serves.
